    196 Czego nauczyła mnie łacina
    English: In this episode, I’ll share some of my experience in learning Latin that can help you learn Polish. I’ve been learning Latin for over 20 years, and let me tell you, it hasn’t always been easy. I had my number of challenges, like outdated learning methods or lack of time. However, on this journey, I discovered better ways to learn—and that’s something I want to share with you.
    Enjoy listening! :)

Jednak w trakcie tej podróży odkryłem lepsze sposoby na naukę – i właśnie tym chcę się z Wami podzielić.

    When buying a flat you can buy one that's ready to move in. They all seem, however, to lack one important thing and I find it quite sad. This episode gets a little bit philosophical and so maybe a bit more challanging but I'm sure you'll manage to understand a lot and learn a lot too! Enjoy listening! :)
